Chapter 717: A Clear Person
From the first time he saw his master’s swift and decisive methods when dealing with those dissatisfied tenants, he knew that this new master had a completely different personality from his previous master.
How could a young master like him be the kind of man who would let a maid climb into his bed just because he fancied beauty? He would probably not let go of anyone who wanted to scheme against him, regardless of whether they were a man or a woman.
Xue Zongguang didn’t let Xue Qin get close to Shao Qingyuan because he was afraid that his master would be angry and blame Xue Qin.
However, when he saw Lady Gu’s methods, her murderous aura, and his master’s indulgence towards her, Xue Zongguang’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that Lady Gu was the one who could not be provoked. If Xue Qin did anything inappropriate, she would definitely end up in a worse state than the two thieves today.
Therefore, when he came back, he drugged her.
Tong Shuitao watched the entire process and clicked her tongue in wonder. She hurriedly ran to look for Gu Yundong.
Gu Yundong was discussing with Shao Qingyuan about making something delicious for Big Black to recover as soon as possible. He did not expect Tong Shuitao to bring him such unexpected news.
She and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. “The manager of this manor is quite clear.”
“Yes, he’s quite decisive. Otherwise, I would replace their entire family tomorrow.”
Shao Qingyuan had taken a fancy to Xue Zongguang from the beginning. When he first bought this manor, he realized that this person was a talent that was clear-headed and had methods.
He managed this farmstead very well and was accurate in judging people. He was not bad to the tenants. It was actually very useful for him to continue staying in the farmstead as a steward.
This was the second time Shao Qingyuan came here after buying this manor. As expected, he saw the replanted fruit trees and medicinal herbs. These were all done by Xue Zongguang.
Unfortunately, he had two family members who were dragging him down.
However, if he worked hard to correct his wife and daughter’s attitude now and taught them again, he would definitely not be just a small manager in the future.
It all depended on what he did.
As they spoke, Xue Zongguang came in and began to report the situation of the orchard and herb garden, as well as the arrangements of this manor.
Gu Yundong did not pay attention to this. She let Shao Qingyuan take care of it while she focused on Big Black.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Ah Zhu finally returned after dinner.
Previously, he had sent the two thieves to the county office with two tenants. Coincidentally, Doctor Liu, who was being held by the villagers of the Jiao Village, was also kneeling in the office and being interrogated.
At this moment, the two thieves were about to cry and complain that Gu Yundong had beaten them half to death when they saw Doctor Liu. They were instantly speechless.
Hence, the three of them knelt in the hall and were scolded by everyone.
The county magistrate was also a straightforward person. Seeing that the people were angry, he interrogated them about the immoral things they had done.
Soon, the three of them were sentenced and imprisoned.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Ah Zhu rushed back.
“We’ve avenged Big Black.” Tong Shuitao snorted coldly. In fact, she was still a little displeased. Previously, in the herb garden, she should have beaten them up twice.
Ah Zhu nodded and ate with his bowl. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and took out something from the cloth bag he carried with him.
